No, but the laws of aerodynamics do not favor flying above the critical AOA in the pattern.

It's in preparation for fully autonomous drones.

HGR is about 30 nm from the SFRA. The airspace that's about 2.5 nm easy of HGR is the expanded airspace for Camp David when the President is there.

Not a plotting issue, just slightly different centerpoints and radii. The Class D is 5.3 nm radius centered on 30-14-01N/81-40-34W The TFR is 5 nm radius centered on 30-14-02N/81-40-22W

We dropped our daughter at the airport with two large duffle bags and said see you at Christmas.

No TFR, so planes not "grounded."

Class E surface area also requires direct communication with ATC.

That's Skyknight

I believe they started controlling from the mobile tower in March, 2020. I don't think they have ever controlled from the 'remote tower.'

No it hasn't. ATC at FNL is being done from a mobile tower. The just did the first part of the test--monitoring the traffic being controlled by controllers in the mobile tower--this Spring (the program was delayed due to Covid).

Once something is published in the chart supplement, etc., there won't be a NOTAM. The problem was the failure to check the chart supplement and sectional chart, which the FAA would consider a clear violation of 91.103.

AIrports can only charge for use of the pavement. They don't own the airspace and cannot charge for its use.

Powered Lift

The control tower does the traffic count. They count 'operations' (takeoffs, landings, low approaches, etc. Nine touch and go's would count as 18 operations (9 landings and 9 takeoffs).

I don't know if a Lear 35 could legally/safely land on RWY17. The controller who cleared him for the approach wouldn't know either. If the reported weather is VMC and the pilot cancels IFR, what what would you expect the tower controller to do? Would it make any difference if it were a C-172?

You need something FIKI-certified to get over the Cascades in rather winter.

My parent had an old Bonanza that had three paper-covered holes on the left side of the fuselage behind the wing with mounts for parachute flares in the baggage compartment.

NY Center controls the oceanic airspace along the east coast.

Monovision lenses (one eye set for distance, the other for near vision) have been discussed in numerous threads. The FAA does not allow monovision contacts, but does allow monovision implanted lenses. Does anyone here have experience with intraocular lenses in a minimonovision (.5 to .75...
